Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 707 - What’s Stopping You? (1)

Su Jingyi didn't know what to say right then. The conversation between Yun Zhen and her family flowed smoothly and she was quite surprised herself seeing that he was getting along with them without encountering any hiccups

How did he manage to do that so effortlessly? She wondered. Even Su Jingli seemed to favor him. It even seemed that he liked him.

When Yun Zhen announced his intention to ask her out, she wasn't sure if he was being serious or not. She hoped this wasn't like the half assed marriage proposal he came up with before.

For goodness sake, Yun Zhen was a threat to her sanity. Su Jingyi thought that she had already spent and wasted enough years beside him. Hadn't he had enough? Because she already did have enough and didn't want to suffer the same thing all over again. She didn't want to make such an enormous mistake ever again.

Yun Zhen smiled at her as if he hadn't done something wrong and continued his conversation with her parents. Su Jingli took the spot next to her on the couch and took a bite from the apple he was holding.

"Hadn't you had enough food from dinner earlier? You're still hungry?" Su Jingyi asked him.

"I still have enough room for it, Sis. Don't worry about me." He paused and gave her a teasing wink. "Worry about yourself instead."

Su Jingyi harrumphed and hit him with a throw pillow in response, knowing that what he was thinking at the moment. He was probably enjoying all of this.

"So are you going out with him? Did you think he's going to propose properly this time?" Her brother leaned forward and said in a hush voice, asking her.

"How am I supposed to know?" Su Jingyi looked at Yun Zhen who was still engrossed in a conversation with their mother. She was impressed at how he was able to keep up with the random topics her mother was purposely throwing at him and Yun Zhen had no problem answering her inquiries.

She had never imagined that he would go to this extent to seek her, but did he truly want her back because he wanted her or was it because he needed her? She wondered.

"Well, Mr. Yun, are you staying nearby?" Father Su asked, checking the time on the wall clock. They didn't even notice that it was past eleven of the evening.

"Ah, to be honest. I immediately came here as soon as my flight landed. I'm on a personal trip, so I might…" Yun Zhen's voice trailed off. "I might have forgotten to tell my assistant to book a hotel room for me." He admitted in shame.

Su Jingyi couldn't stop herself from facepalming. How could the great Yun Zhen fail to do such a basic thing before leaving Shenzhen? But she had to remind herself that she had been the one who had been assigned to do those things for the longest time. She was the one who used to prepare and follow through their itinerary whenever they were on a business trip.

This was all new to Yun Zhen. Su Jingyi had never even heard him take a personal vacation ever since they joined Yun Group over a decade ago. So she shouldn't be surprised that he couldn't even do a menial job of booking his own hotel room.

"Why don't you stay here temporarily, Mr. Yun?" Mother Su suggested. "You can take our guest room. This should solve your problem, right?"

This time, both Su Jingyi and Su Jingli were utterly surprised at what their mother had suggested. Even her father raised a brow at her suggestion, but didn't make any intention of contradicting his wife.

"But I don't want to inconvenience you.." Yun Zhen wanted to decline, but Mother Su was quite persistent. She had never seen her daughter so riled up like this until Yun Zhen came. Her ever calm and collected, responsible daughter… how can she not know that their sweet Jingyi was in love with this man?

She might be trying to deny it, but Mother Su wasn't blind to not see that her daughter cared about Yun Zhen, to the point that she even went as far as defending his honor and reputation against Mo Qingfan.

To think that she would witness her daughter react like this, Mother Su was relieved that there was a chance that Su Jingyi would be able to find a decent husband on her own and lead the happy life she truly deserved.

To be honest, these matchings were just a ploy to probe into their daughter's personal affair. Although she and Jingyi were really close, Jingyi had never shared anything personal about her affairs or if she was currently dating or seeing anyone.

They feared that because she had ingrained herself in work, Su Jingyi wouldn't be able to get a chance to lead a life like other women who had already or had experienced in their lives.

They really thought that she had missed a lot of things in her life by looking after her brother when she was younger and when she started working hard to provide for their family, when in truth, she really didn't have to worry about any of it. historical

Although it was true that they weren't as rich as the Yuns, that didn't mean that their family was lacking financially. It was just Su Jingyi who had high expectations and had set goals for herself that she needed to achieve no matter what.

Ever since Su Jingyi was younger, she was different from the beginning. She knew things other kids at her young age wouldn't normally know. It made her different and was eventually excluded by others.

It persisted until her puberty. It was only when she had eventually met Yun Zhen during her university days did they finally see a difference in their daughter's behavior.

"Well, I think that will do for now." Su Jingli agreed with their mother. "Since Mr. Yun is on a vacation and Sis finally has time on her own, perhaps they could do some sightseeing tomorrow." He added.
